OCLC Research announces ResearchWorks Web site, featuring demos, prototypes, and other interactive items that showcase the current work of OCLC Researchers.Visitors to OCLC ResearchWorks can explore the site, following their interest from one demo to another, and comment on and discuss them with others. The idea is to display some of what's on the minds - and the "workbenches" - of OCLC Researchers. The ideas may serve as examples librarians can develop or incorporate into their own systems.ResearchWorks features works in progress rather than full services or even polished prototypes. There are links to background information, a discussion form, and a form to send a message directly to the researcher involved with each project. Some interesting work.
